International Settings

To my international HEC-RAS user friends. It’s time again to remind everyone that you need to have your Region and Language Windows settings set to English (United States), particularly if you are running unsteady HEC-RAS models. If you live somewhere other than the USA, and you get an error message relating to the “time” data, or “date” inputs, it’s a good bet that you need to change your region and language settings.

Thank's Chris... I've always thought that setting any English format was enough... I've always set English (Australia), because it's the fisrt of the English format list, and HEC-RAS computed ok...But once I got an error message abou time, and now I know why!!!!Best regards.

The Author

Chris Goodell is the Director of Applied Research for WEST Consultants, Inc. and a former HEC-RAS Development Team member. Chris teaches HEC-RAS courses around the world and is the author of the popular book "Breaking the HEC-RAS Code."

"Breaking the HEC-RAS Code"

This book covers one of the most powerful, yet relatively unknown features available in HEC-RAS: the HECRASController! The HECRASController API has a wealth of procedures which allow a programmer to manipulate HEC-RAS externally by setting input data, retrieving input or output data, and performing common functions such as opening and closing HEC-RAS, changing plans, running HEC-RAS, and plotting output.
